So i read this post where the author talked about the concept of monetization in free apps. These are excerpts from the post;
“When people talk about monetizing, they’re usually talking about some sort of scheme. Because anything that needs to be monetized can’t just be simple. If it was simple, you wouldn’t need a word like monetize. You’d just be making money selling a service or product.”
"Here’s this thing for “free”, if you give me the most valuable things you own: Your attention, your privacy, your peace of mind. The price tag may say $0, but it ain’t free.
This doesn’t mean that you’re buying nothing. There’s all sorts of wonder and delight in them silos. But is it worth it?
“That’s really the crux of being monetized. It’s a sly, hazy, and indirect way of getting charged.” [Quote] It’s not easy to compute the balance after you’ve been deducted, but deducted you’ve been.[/quote]
This👆got me…
